Why the hell not? 20 years ago people would have said that no one but Rare should make a DKC game. Turns out it works perfectly ok without Rare. So I'm willing to give another Studio a chance.

The difference being that the DKC games Rare did in 1994 were state of the art platformers with two of them being the top selling games of the year, and the third being a top 5 game for the year. DKC Returns and Tropical Freeze were nowhere near state of the art games or top 5 selling of the year, leave alone 1st.

That's not Retro's fault. Metroid Prime was state of the art for its time, because it was on the Gamecube, which was the better console, technology wise. Retro's DKC games were on the Wii and Wii U, so of course they weren't state of the art. Rare's DKC titles were state of the art because the Super Nintendo was the best system technology wise at the time. Not a fair comparison. All of Retro's games were high quality, game design wise.
